How did you find your fundraising experience? Google - I googled grants available for volunteering abroad and after a bit of research I found the Jack Petchey Foundation.

What did you find most effective? Getting to know the Foundation and making sure I was presenting myself well on my application. It was pretty straight forward. I checked I matched the requirements, sent in my application and recieved a grant.

What are your top tips?•Think outside the box, you can often receive funding from organisations that you may not think of straight away!•Don't underestimate the power of word of mouth•Do your research and think of creative ways you can stand out on your application and prove why they should fund you!
